"Peri-ictal pseudoprogression (PIPG) is a rare complication of prior cranial radiation and is thought to be on the same spectrum as SMART syndrome, albeit less severe."
"Patients with peri-ictal pseudoprogression present with frequent focal seizures, often with constant subclinical epileptogenic discharges on EEG 1. Differently from SMART syndrome, peri-ictal pseudoprogression is usually characterised by absence of headeaches and no significant neurological impairment."

"As SMART syndrome, in peri-ictal pseudoprogression signal alterations on MRI do not have a typical vascular distribution."
"SMART syndrome"
"similar epidemiology and similar imaging appearances, although cortical enhancement and swelling are more pronounced in SMART syndrome"
"clinically, SMART syndrome is characterised by headache/migraine and stroke-like deficits 1,2"
